[Leica] So much for "film is forever"..

[Mark Rabiner]

I work from my digital files from  the early 2000's when I started shooting
digital they are in my same folder as my files going to this  year. By year.
I have 14 yearly files labeled by year I've been shooting digital 14 years.
They have not "faded". And by that I'd assume we mean gotten corrupted. As
if the 0's and 1's got messed  up the result would not be subtle.
The sensors were so bad those days one could think that was the case though.
Digital fading.

But then again when I processed it now it looks better because the software
is better and I'm better at using it. I was near clueless on photo crunching
in 2004.

Here's one from 11 years ago
